However, I'm often mistaken for a communist on the internet. While I sympathize with many of their goals, I find them hopeless out of touch with the political realities of the United States. We will not see communism implemented in the US in our lifetimes. The best we can hope is incremental progress.
While Obama might a step along the road to the ultimate goal, he is a small step. If he adopts Clinton's regime and his administration becomes Clinton's third term, he will be a step backward.
So what you're saying is your main problem with communists is you think they expect it too quickly. You have no problem whatsoever to their idealogy or methods.
If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin
Imagine what good we can do if we all joined together, united as followers of Christ - M. Russell Ballard
